I was thinking closer to home. Why pay £15 to get to Luton or Stansted when you can get to Heathrow for £2 with an Oyster card? You're already bumping up the cost of your flight by almost £30.

But can they tell you in advance whether you'll be bussed to the plane or not? And does the average passenger understand the distinction, even if they notice the small print?

So that's £26 in train fares and £16 in two "speedy boarding" fees that I've saved by opting to fly BA... in my experience, that BA flight is already costing me less than the "low cost" Easyjet one.
